Lagwagon - Live It Down Lyrics

the planer´s lost and all I need
to line my bed with handkerchiefs
to bay my fatigue to build a case
of true love lost and lives erased
to live guilt free in a foretold destiny
he found a hill where he stakes his claim
and he´ll build a house where he´ll
martyr his children

the trees wheeze out the ocean rise
he´s gaining ground in his high-rise
and all proceeds from rewritten history
in fairytales that he still believes

he breathes and thrives and he´s immunized
but he´s paralyzed cause he´s sure to die off

soon running for the middle higher ground but lower
while all the coasts are running off

cold waters boils mother earth´s rage
his house and family have washed away
where was his savior his promised
road he followed every rule they ever sold
he saw his world as a vapor life support
we colonize and we multiply as we
suck it dry yeah we´re sure to die off
